Shot List
Creative Artifact Title: Abused

I have created an outline of the shots I will be taking, which is part of my planning. My shot list is based of my script as I have
considered the most effective way to portray to the audience the action, which is taking place in my script. I have decided to produce a
shot list, as it will allow me to work more proficiently as I have a plan of what I will have to do. This will benefit my cast and allow
the to perform more efficiently as it will guide them. Overall this will allow me to complete my creative artifact to the best of my
ability.
